Early Lexical Acquisition and the Vocabulary Spurt: A Response to Goldfield and Reznick.
Mervis, Carolyn B.; Bertrand, Jacqueline
Journal of Child Language, v22 n2 p461-68 Jun 1995
Vocabulary development of three children, aged 1;6 to 1;8, who had not yet begun to evidence a vocabulary spurt was followed to determine if these children would eventually have a vocabulary spurt. Results of the study are discussed in the context of the argument that a substantial proportion of children never evidence a vocabulary spurt. (JL)
